We’ve been receiving multiple reports of players starting our map (Pet Heroes Adventure - 8039-8238-9814) without pickaxe since the latest update (34.00)
We didn’t figure out exactly how to reproduce the issue, but from the reports it seems that the issue is related to some specific pickaxes, like the “Jar Buster” (new pickle pickaxe) and maybe also some newer ones from the battlepass.

Steps to Reproduce
We didn’t figure out exactly how to reproduce the issue, but from the reports it seems that the issue is related to some specific pickaxes, like the “Jar Buster” (new pickle pickaxe) and maybe also some newer ones. Just equip the pickaxe and join Pet Heroes Adventure
Expected Result
Pickaxe should be enabled at all times, since we don’t disable it anytime during the whole gameplay (no class changes etc)
Big issue, +1. I also have been getting reports of this happening in my map Survival Tycoon (5570-4509-1945). Here’s what I know:
Players are reporting this bug happening regardless of when they join the game (Join in Progress or Readying Up Together makes no difference)
The game does switch your class often and I made sure all classes have the “Start WIth Pickaxe” option enabled. Island settings also have this setting enabled. I also tried making it so it swaps your class on join to one of these classes but it makes no difference.
Respawning/Rejoining made no difference, they still did not load with a pickaxe.
At one point I tested to see if it was a latency issue with loading into the game with a player who is on different servers, it made no difference.
Now that you mention it, I could see it being with specific pickaxes. I did not think to test this but I will and report back.
I agree. The same issue is happening on my map, Sky Heroes Tycoon Adventure (9881-8842-2718).
I only use Island Settings to specify that the player should start with a pickaxe. I don’t do anything else to modify it via teams or classes or anything.
Multiple players have reported that they start without a pickaxe. Typically, simply respawning or restarting the game will fix it.
However, I have one player using a PS5 that no matter what they claimed they could not get a pickaxe. After a day or two they let me know that switching from private to public fixed it - however, I don’t know if that’s actually what resolved the issue. It’s possible they were confused. But perhaps it has something to do with a specific pickaxe? I’ll see if I can ask them.
I also wanted to add that I went into Lumberjack Heroes today and did not spawn in with a pickaxe, and was unable to get one, and had to quit the game.
I was using the “Don’t talk to me” skin with a default pickaxe. And was playing on an Xbox Series X.
The player with the PS5 that couldn’t get their pickaxe to spawn on my map, who initially thought switching from private to public was what worked around it, did reply back to me:
I changed my locker load out which did include pickaxe change
The “Jar Buster” Pickaxe from the Battlepass has been bugged since the beginning of the season. This Pickaxe has “bCanBeDroppedFromInventory” set to true, allowing it to be dropped or removed from player inventories.
If you use an item granter with “On Grant Action: Clear Inventory” it will remove this specific pickaxe 100% of the time. There are probably various devices in creative that can also result in the pickaxe being removed.
A correction of the boolean “bCanBeDroppedFromInventory” set to False on the Pickaxe should fix the issues.
